HiFi Headphone Amp V3.

1B
Including stereo simulation

Overview
If you wish to listen to your guitar via headphones in high quality – this circuit is for you!

It also is designed to be used for recording purposes. You might need a speaker cabinet simulator in front to color
your signal and eliminate unwanted distortion frequencies you usually do not hear when listening through a guitar
amp.

V3.1b corrects a bug in the BOM and has an optimized layout pic.

General
The headphone amp is a HiFi design utilizing a special chip for that purpose. The stereo simulation is basically a
time-delayed signal generated out of the original signal using multiple allpass-type filters.

Building
Start populating the diode and resistors first except R3-R6 which stand upright. Then IC sockets and then box film
capacitors and now R3-R6.. Next go the electro caps.

Stereo-Switch
 Next put the board mounted pot on the backside. Please cover the
pots backside with tape so there cannot be any shortcuts with the
solder pins of the populated board.

Finally
This is how it can look when boxed up.
